The thing is, in the OP's code lines 7 and 8, it says:

7 int y = -2147483648;
8 int x = INT_MIN;

which are _completely_ equivalent (INT_MIN is _defined_ as
-2147483648)

According to the OP, on his system INT_MIN is defined as

# define INT_MIN (-INT_MAX - 1)

which produces the same result, but does not involve the literal 2147483648.
This seems to be a common trick; on my Mac it is defined as (-0x7fffffff - 1).
